Item Details
Description
Eurasia, ca. Miocene (5 - 23 MYO). This is a collector quality specimen of one of the rarer species of saber-toothed cat, incredibly preserved with all original teeth, including sabers. This was a very old cat when it died as evidenced by the wear on the teeth and length of the sabers. One molar is missing from the right mandible, but evidence is clear that this tooth was lost during the animal's life, and hence was not restored in order to preserve the original qualities of this amazing fossil. A suitably matching tooth can be added to the dry socket at no cost should the buyer desire it.



MEASUREMENTS

Skull: 7" wide x 11" long (17.8 x 27.9 cm). Sabers: 5" (12.7 cm) (exposed portion)
